Dustbuster Phone: A BIG Sham?

It's March. It's not winter. It's not spring. Today in Brooklyn it's going to be 70 degrees. But on Sunday it's going to be 39 degrees. I spent 25 minutes this morning helping my girlfriend figure out what shoes to wear in this wacky weather. But, it's all good. That's what boyfriends are for.

So, as I mentioned in our last post, we're going to be reunited with our long lost friends in Lola Ray. However, there's more to the reunion than previously reported. Not only will we be playing The Knitting Factory in NY on April 1st, we're also going to play DC 9 in Washington DC on March 31st. We're so excited about these two shows. In honor of our excitement, we've created this...




For the record, it took me approximately 10 minutes to create that comic. It's taken me a good three hours to figure out how to upload it onto this blog. In the meantime I've considered gorging my own eyes out, throwing my laptop against the wall, killing various species of insects, questioning the importance of being in a band, etc. If it weren't the The Ray we were playing with, I'd have cursed the day I ever picked up a guitar. So you fuckers best come to the shows - and you better have laughed hard at that fucking comic. You fucking ingrates.

Deep Breath,

What's crappening?

We're going upstate this weekend to play Cosmo's hometown. It should be a good time. We've actually never played upstate before so we're pretty stoked. We're planning to return for a weekend of shows in late April. Apparently, we're on the cover of the local Cortland paper this week. Cosmo and I were both interviewed. It's probably going to be one of those "local boy does good - hooks up with jewish dudes - plays rock - comes home - you should check him out" kind of stories. What could be better??? We'll post the article when we've got it.

In the meantime, April's looking like a banner month for us. We still need to firm up a few things, but there's talk of a Lola Ray / English Department reunion at The Knitting Factory on April 1st. We haven't played together in a long while since they up and left and moved back to LA. They're currently on tour with the The Oohlas, who according to Brian are the best dudes (and dudette) ever. We really hope this show can happen. We'll keep you posted.

We're definitely playing with our old friends Army of Me at The Black Cat in DC on April 25th. We played DC in October and had a blast. Playing with Army of Me in DC is like visiting Philly with Rocky. Shit's gonna be nuts.

Anywho - that's all for now. Stay tuned for more shows, more news, more heartbreak.
